Silverfort enables organizations to add risk-based adaptive authentication to any system or resource, across entire networks and cloud environments, without deploying any software agents, costly integrations or reducing productivity. Silverfort’s non-intrusive solution can protect systems that don’t support multi-factor authentication today, such as proprietary systems, IoT devices, shared files and folders, industrial control systems (ICS) and more. This allows organizations to secure corporate identities and critical assets, prevent data breaches and achieve compliance with regulations like GDPR, PCI and HIPAA.

By combining the powerful threat detection and prevention capabilities of Palo Alto Networks with Silverfort’s agentless authentication technology, this new app automatically enforces step-up authentication for suspicious users, based on real-time alerts from the Application Framework. When alerts are received, Silverfort provides suspected users a chance to prove their identity and continue to work, while effectively blocking malicious entities. The authentication results are provided as feedback to the Application Framework, allowing security teams to focus on actual threats and reduce false positives.

“We are thrilled to see the debut of third-party applications for our customers, and we welcome Silverfort to the Application Framework developer community. Together, we are fueling innovation in the cybersecurity market by completely changing the way that organizations test, deploy, and manage security. This important advancement will make organizations everywhere more secure and help protect our way of life in the digital age.”– Lee Klarich, chief product officer, Palo Alto Networks
